They gave the ball to the Rams at the 40 yard line to open the half and nobody noticed?!?!

I'm sorry, but how does a full crew of NFL refs not notice the ball was placed in the wrong spot after a touchback?

But beyond that, how in the fug does our HC not notice this?

I can kinda understand Evero not realizing it because he would have been looking at the call sheet and getting a play called down, but the HC NEEDS to see this and bring it to the refs attention.  I realize it's small, but it's just another instance of Canales showing how poor is in game awareness is, it's been a problem for 2 full years now and is a big reason I don't see him as being a good HC.

Oh, and the Rams "later realizing it" is bullshit, you know McVay realized it the second they placed the ball down at the 40.

Well, we don’t have a ball spotting coordinator for one thing. 
It seems like be hard really, to visually confirm what YL the ball sits on from ground level, easy to miss.

Not from the press box level, someone up there should have noticed.

I want one player who knows the game well enough to call the refs fuxking morons in real time. I fuxking loathe Mr. 6 Head Manning, but hes letting the refs know they fuxked up every time and not letting up until they fix it.

The ESPN article is wrong.  This was not an official mistake.  Fitzgerald's kick was short of the landing zone, and placing the ball on the 40 was the correct call.

Edit:  reading more carefully, the article isn't referring to the kickoff after the Panther's touchdown.  The box score has the Rams starting on the 35 after the 2nd half kickoff, but maybe that's wrong too?

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
